Seeking website of forum user...

I'm looking for a website/blog type affair that I think was the site of somebody who used to post here. Damned if I can find it though... can anybody help?

As far as I can remember: the guy posted under a normal-sounding name, though it was by his own admission a pseudonym. His blog detailed his employment at a smallish software company that he had recently joined with the specific intention of working his way into a higher position, his musings on the extent to which particular pseudonymous colleagues and directors would help or hinder him, and various other thoughts on his overall plan.

Any assistance will be gratefully received!

That could be a lot of people. Any more clues?

Thanks for the response, especially since I answered my own question whilst drafting my reply to you: "Thanks for the response... stupid thing was on my old laptop..." and when I typed that, I suddenly remembered that I had a backup of my old laptop!

(The whole drive, absolutely everything -- because it was a useless POS with a tiny hard disk good for little more than browsing the web very slowly.)

So, after a bit of trawling through my internets history, I found it:

http://www.kensharpe.net/

"This is the story of my ascension from code monkey to CTO in a company that will go public or be gobbled up in the next two to three years."

Anyway, that's my problem solved, and maybe somebody else will find the page interesting too even if it looks like it hasn't been updated for a while.

I saw the blip in blog traffic coming from here. Looks like you found me. I have lots of exciting things to share, but I'm not quite ready yet -- for those of you who have never seen the site, you'll notice the latest post is approximately a year old. I've been a busy boy in that year, and I'll tell you everything on my eponymous (as opposed to my pseudonymous) site shortly.
